ABOUT BREAD-MAKING.


How the Staff of Life Is Made by Profess
sfonal City Bakers.
A barrel of good flour should make
from 270 to 2S5 five cent-loaves. Many
bakers blend four brands, as two Min
nesota springs and two Indiana winters,
before they get the right alloy. Others
use only one grade of spring and two
of winter wheat. These make the best
brands of fancy bread. Formerly yeast
was made of malt, potatoes and hops,
and this is extensively used. Fancy
bread bakers use patent yellow COM
pressed yeast. 1t is popularity supposed
that bakers use alum extensively in
order to whiten their bread. That is
not the fact. There is no necessity for
the use of alum, and it is not used in
the trade. There are about twenty
large steam bakeries in New
York, which give employment to
several hundred men. One of
these, a noted Broadway establish
ment. makes speciality of Vienna
bread, and does an immense business.
Vienna bread is made in air light ovens,
of the best grade of flour, and milk is
used instead of water in mixing the
dough. In baking, the steam settles
back on the bread instead of escaping.
This makes the outer crust thin and
tender, and gives the bread a peculiarly
rich taste and pleasant aroma. What
is known to the trade as ''steam" bread
is another recent invention. 1t is made
of the very finest of flour and baked in
air tight pans, which inclose it on all
sides. 1t is thus baked in its own
steam, and possesses a flavor peculiarly
its own. One very large bakery in
New York is devoted solely to the pro-
duction of aerated bread. 1t is steam
factory, and the bread so made is ex-
tremely light and spongy. The inven-
ton is an English one, but has been in
use here for years. When the dough
has reached certain consistency, it is
run into an air tight cylinder and
strongly impregnated with carbOnic
acid gas. This creates the lightness
and sponginess without detracting in
the slightest from its nutritious quail
ties.-NiAing World.

SOME AFTER-THOUGHTS.

Calm View of a Question Which Has
Excited Considerable Excitement.
There was really no occasion to kick
up so delirious an excitement over the
proposed restoration of the captured
Confederate flags to the various South
ern States in which the regiments car
rying these flags had been organized.
The President has promptly rescinded
the order, having found that the tat
tered and battered trophies must
await such disposition as Congress
may see fit to make of them; and now
the question arises in all seriousness:
What harm can be done by scattering
these mementoes of fratricidal conflict,
or what good can be done by keeping
them locked up in garnet at Wash
ington?
The Graphic does not undervalue
the sentiments of the veterans who
compose the Grand Army of the Re-
public. They made great sacrifices
for the maintenance of the Union, and
are naturally proud of the victories they
won. But is there any good reason
why they should applaud the ferocious
maledietions invoked by General Fair
child? Secession is dead as Julius
Caesar. North and South are one and
at peace. We are all trying to oblit-
crate every ugly memory of the civil
war. What, then, is the use of raising
rumpus about these flags
that symbolic only dead issue?
They are not needed to attest
the patriotism or valor of those who
captured them. Had they been COM
mitted to the care of separate organ
izations, they would probably have
been returned long ago to the men who
fought under them. 1t is all matter
of sentiment, of course, but it seems to
US that the Grand Army men will be
more magnanimous by and by. The
restored Union needs no such memo
rails of the. fiery ordeal through which
it passed.-N Y. Graphic.

PIN-MONEY FOR WIVES.
The False Financial Relations Existing In
Many well-to-do Families.

Many welI-to-do Families.
Among the poor, particularly the
thrifty and industrious poor. the woma n
of the household, be she wife or daugh-
ter, has much more control in dispens-
ing the daily or weekly wage than
women on higher social plane; men
of Drawn, when sensible and kindly,
practice a more generous rule of con-
jugal partnership than is usual among
men of brain. though these latter's
earnings are on such scale of plenty
that unless we look below the surface
regulations and equipments of the home
we fail to discover the false financial
regulations that exist between husband
and wife. For wives, as class, have
no spending money, and are rarely
cognizant of their husbands true BUSH
ness condition. Is this just to the being
a man has promised to honor as well as
to love?
Women are accused of being ''mean,"
and any one who has ever served on a
collecting committee knows how, in
forming list of possible subscribers,
name after name is omitted with the
remark, 'No use going to her, she
never gives" or "She has no money!"
and yet the husband of "she" is invari-
ably man of means or ample profess
sional income, who pays extravagant
household and personal bills for his
family, usually with willing good ma
ture. 1t is only when money is asked
for that atightening of the purse strings
instinctively takes place, and the UNI
blushing query is made: why, little
woman, what did you do with the five
dollars 1 gave you last week.? We
have heard such a question put to
beloved wife by a man whose yearly
expenses were at least $40. 900, and who
the next week gave the same wife valu-
able diamond earrings, and always
encouraged her to dress extravagantly
and live luxuriously.-Harper's Bdz0r.

tiers of the arts of cajolery and f,esse.
Scores of entertaining and authentic
anecdotes might be given to bear out
this statement. We subjoin a few: A
vendor of cheap spectacles called on an
ancient maiden lady and displayed his
glittering stock. The lady remarked
that she had recently purchased pair
in neighboring town. '.Do they suit

'It's serious thing to have spectacles

tone of respectful sympathy, the lady
fetched them, and the hawker, with an
assumption of much knowledge, turned
them round and round and tested both
glasses and frames. His verdict soon
came: Pm sorry, real sorry for We,

little more persuasion the bargain was
effected. A week later The lady re-
appeared at the shop from whence had
come the discarded pair of glasses.
The new ones had proved utterly use
less. She had to return, considerably
poorer in pocket, if richer in experience,

Is it any wonder, then, that the tide
of Democracy is rising higher each
year and sweeping away, in its resist
less power, Republican strongholds
which were considered impregnable?
Even Rhode Island, '.iron-clad and
rOck-ribbed Republican Rhode Island, "
as Governor Hill termed it, has
passed out of Republican hands, in
spite of the party advantage main
tanned by actually DISTINGUISHING every
foreign-born citizen unless he is free
holder. Signs ofShe final breaking up
of the once proud party are manifested
in other New England States and in
the Northwest, where it was most
strongly entrenched. Tha change is
easily accounted for. The Democratic
party is giving the people better gov
eminent than that which characterized
Republican rule, and is in favor of just
and equal laws for all. The Repub-
lican party is still welded to the idols
that caused its overthrow in 1884 and
has shown in adversely more malig-
nant and reckless spirit than in pros
perity. 1t can not assimilate itself
with the cause of the people, for it is
the creature and tool of monopoly.
Its intolerance alone is sufficient TO
keep it unpopular, and when its innate
tendency to corruption and extrava-
5gance is added, nothing more is needed
to show that it is entitled to an in
definite period of exclusion from the
